Ivy League College Girl Tintype



Unusual and wonderful tintype, in the vein of F. Earl Christy whose illustrative art at the turn of the century focused on woman and sports with Ivy League themes. Often these women held pennants or flags representing Ivy League colleges.
This is the only tintype of the sort we have seen, and is an interesting representation of the Harvard – Yale football rivalry.  Tintype c.1900, measuring  3 ½ x 2 3/8.
